It’s honestly baffeling to me how Barça and RM have switched places in football culture, and how so ridiculously quickly it happened.
Off and on the pitch, Barça have abandoned the essence of what made them so unique and so admirable.
Now they crab grab any/every sponsor deal they can, they’re literally scheduling FRIENDLIES during the season, they’re not bringing up youth players from La Masia, “total football” has died, and most importantly (to me at least), was how they handled the “Catalan Referendum” week back in September.
They decided to play a La Liga game in an empty stadium during that crazy contested referendum. While Catalan’s were being beaten and overpowered by the Spanish Army Police. The Police were literally going into every voting station they could to steal the voting ballots, forcefully abusing anyone in their way. Women, teenagers, old folks, etc, they did not care; kicking democracy and decency in the face (it was something that looked straight up out the Franco era).
Barça was and will always be the refuge for Catalans, “Mes Que un club”, wtf were they doing playing football? They should have canceled the game and protested on behalf of the people. Barça would have done so 10 years ago, hell, they would have done it 5 years ago. They’re arguably the biggest club in the world, they had a chance to send a message to the world and they blew it. I couldn’t believe it.
They’ve changed so much in such a short time. Psk talks about the president and the board a lot, how they should be fired, and I agree with him. Barça need to go back to being Barcelona. I hope “mes que in club” hasn’t left with Iniesta....

Agreed, and that's a big part of why I "prefer" Barca these days but am not the fan I used to be since I started watching when Barca, not RM, was the main Portuguese proxy team in Spain
By that I mean that I still kind of root for them to win, but I really couldn't care less if they don't.Even aside from the referendum fiasco and unnecessary friendlies you mentioned, things like the Qatar sponsorships, getting scumbag players like Suarez and Neymar (ok,maybe that's just my intense personal dislike of him since day one)...I understand getting Neymar so Real can't get him, but to me, going for Qatar and Suarez right after his racism fiasco basically erased what Barca stood for.
I don't know, maybe I got caught into the elitist "Mes que un club" mentality and actually believed in it (which is why I supported them in the past after all the Portuguese players left), but now they've proved they're just like any other club on earth. Which isn't terrible, but still...it got rid of the allure the club once had IMO

Bruh I think Pep might be done after City, he said multiple times he’s never planned on managing for long. He already achieved everything and more with Barça.
I wasn’t just talking about Barça’s football tho, Barça used to be more than just that.

Yea I remember when I first showed up in this thread you were Barça heavy, you were a legit fan, then you gradually lost your fanhood
. (I always meant to ask you what happened, glad you cleared it up).But yea, the allure of “Mes Que Un Club” is just about dead. It’s disappointing.

Yeah. Honestly though, it's more fun for me to watch football these days as a "slightly biased neutral" than being a complete fan of a team and having skewed views of how things go down in a match. For example, yesterday I was watching a highlight video of all the Mourinho era RM fouls/fights with Barca, and yeah even though the RM players were fouling the @#$@ out of everyone, I saw a whole bunch of incidents I justified in the past like "that might not have been a foul, but if it was, it would've hurt the player, so give RM a yellow/red anyway".
That's why the last Clasico was fun for me to watch. Instead of getting worked up and nervous, and even though I wanted Barca to win, I enjoyed both teams causing chaos on the pitch and watching/hearing the "WTFFFF" reactions of all my friends every 5 minutes

Feels like the club lost it's 'innocence' around the time they got the Qatari sponsorship and the OG Neymar saga,they've become more of a modern, business oriented mega club than the cultural institution it used to represent

And there lays the irony of it all, that short term success hasn't translated on the pitch. Now Real Madrid are on the verge of winning three straight Champions League titles, four in five years. It felt like yesterday when we all clowned RM and said they'd never get to "La Decima", now they're going for La Decima-Tercera. If I was a Barça member I'd be protesting, you'd catch me out on the streets of Las Ramblas with a pitchfork. Coked the **** out and looking for somebody to smack.

This could surely open the door for River Plate man Franco ARMANI to take over as the starting goalkeeper. Nahuel GUZMAN who made the list of 35 could possibly be called-up as the replacement.
